Benjamin Millian opened from the cutoff and Niklas Astedt, on the button, was the only caller.
With the flop coming 7♣9♦5♠, Millian threw a continuation-bet 11,000 and was called by the Swede.
The 10♥ landed on the turn and Millian made it 16,000 before Astedt, who covered him, shoved all in.
Three or four minutes went by, but the Frenchman eventually folded, leaving himself with a stack of just over eleven big blinds.
